Since starting my nofap journey I’ve abstained from all kinds of porn. I’m not even curious now if I will get hard from porn or not because I don’t even care about it anymore. And I don’t want to test it because it’ll mean breaking my no porn run. Guess I’ll never know
Same here. But, I'm doing more. I stopped watching movies and TV shows and stopped listening to music.
Same for me dude. No social media, no tv. I just watch gaming videos on YouTube though because gaming is one of my passions and I can’t live without it. I don’t think it’s an unhealthy habit if done moderately
No clue, im staying away from porn as well. I can say that i didnt before i quit with out physical stimulation.
I've knocked off the porn and have killed YouTube as that was dangerous for me. FB has rarely been a problem and having an internet filter has killed it off. My weakest spot right now is tv - just randomly looking for anything even G-rated to get me going. Been sinking into a new routine of chores and spending time on this forum has kept my mind clean for the past 9 days. Enjoying the ride. Long days and pleasant nights.
That’s the spirit brother! I have started a daily regime of sports and fitness, that keeps me motivated to complete my reboot
I get boners to anything thankfully, but back when I was on PMO I would get hard before I finished typing the P-site address, I'm sure some of you will relate
My problem was not getting erections when looking at something which was not among my fetishes. I couldn't get an erection even using softcore porn. So yeah, I do get erections to porn, but don't want to watch porn anymore.
Initially yes, but after a month or so. There is only a feeling akin to an adrenaline hit, but the soldier down under doesn't salute it anymore. Once you actually go long enough without porn, your mind starts realising just how F----- up that shit is, it isn't a turn on for me at least at that point, just some disgusting way of hurting my own self when my demons grab a hold of me. Hard ons though do start to just become routine and those on hard mode simply learn to ignore them, it's just blood rushing to an organ temporarily, really nothing that should influence your decisions for the day. The desire to have a proper companionship however increases tenfolds, for me being clean makes me want to have a life partner, to be completely blunt. I start to see the beauty of love instead of just sex sex sex.
At my worst I didn’t. It was gradually getting worse where I had to manually stimulate myself to get 30% erection.
I think he meant that your addiction is still there, despite the fact that you blocked yourself for so many things in life. Stopping listening to music sounds like completely irrelevant action unless you were listening to something like girls dirty-talking and orgasm sounds.
I wont allow myself to look at porn anymore as I think the visual stimulation is too much and when I see a real naked woman I'm not as excited as I should be. My mind tends to play fantasy games with me and I've been catching myself thinking of some unrealistic fantasy situation that turns me on and makes me hard... I'm done satisfying those fantasy urges with my hand though, it's only hurt my ability to be sexual.
you don't understand, PMO is not the drug but a dose of the same drug food addicts and other are slave to and that is dopamine and a fucked up reward system
